Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.Here's the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity. We're looking for funding in December, so if you've got an IRA or some passive investment cash ($176K) burning a hole in your pocket, and you want 10% or more, let's talk!For the full due diligence package, comps, and all the nitty-gritty details, reach out directly!

In this episode, Tara opens up about a season of travel that reinforced why the Scalable Expert approach matters more than ever: your business should keep growing even when life pulls you away from your desk. That real-life context sets the stage for a powerful question that sits at the core of this conversation.Fresh from attending a high-level scale conference, Tara breaks down why most traditional models push entrepreneurs toward a “grow → scale → exit” path that simply doesn't fit expert business owners. If you're a coach, consultant, or agency founder who built a business on your expertise - not on a team of 40 people - then the Scalable Expert Model offers a far more aligned, sustainable route.Inside this conversation, you'll explore: • Why expert operators hit the capacity ceiling faster than anyone expects • The hidden trap of hiring your “way out” of overwhelm • Why the Scalable Expert path focuses on legacy and longevity - not exit • How your expert framework becomes the foundation for scaling without chaos • What actually changes when you move from custom work to a productized method • The single most important shift experts must make to grow without maxing out their calendar • The Infinite Scale Method™ as the engine of long-term momentum, focus, and freedomWhether you're early in the journey or aiming for multi-seven figures, this episode helps you step back, zoom out, and choose the strategic path that aligns with the future you want - not the one the industry tries to force on you.If you're ready to find out where you currently fall on the Scalable Expert path, schedule a quick chat with Tara -> Book A Free CallCHAPTERS00:00 – Life update: building a business that works even when you're not at your desk01:00 – What the Scalable Expert helps you accomplish02:05 – The expert operator conundrum03:11 – Why “just hire more people” doesn't fix capacity problems05:00 – The identity shift from expert → manager → leader → founder05:29 – Inside the scale conference: Grow, Scale… Exit?06:00 – Why most experts don't want the “build to sell” model07:01 – How the Scalable Expert model differs from traditional scaling08:14 – Applying the Infinite Scale Method™ to growth09:00 – Defining your expert framework as the foundation for scale11:00 – The ADDIE model, standard frameworks, and creating your own12:34 – Finding the method in the madness13:34 – Why “extra pair of hands” work caps your growth15:01 – What changes when you lead with your methodology16:17 – Packaging your expertise into a productized process17:00 – The first shift every expert must make18:17 – Creating leverage with your time and attention19:00 – Infinite delivery: scaling your framework in multiple ways20:00 – Why duct-tape business models collapse under real growth20:56 – What's coming next for Scalable Expert21:29 – New home for the brand + exciting updates22:01 – Final takeaway: build leverage, not complexityMentioned in this episode:https://taralbryan.com/step/15-learn-to-scale-call
BT & Sal dive into the hot stove debate surrounding Pete Alonso's free agency, with Tierney predicting a "robust" market—possibly including the Red Sox—that forces the Mets into a tough decision on a five- or six-year contract. Sal, however, remains skeptical, arguing he doesn't see a "significantly better offer" emerging despite the slugger's improved year and the absence of a qualifying offer. The discussion also veers into a larger question about New York sports: Do high taxes, traffic, and media pressure make the area less desirable for top free agents who no longer need "Madison Avenue" endorsements to maximize their off-field earnings? Plus, they briefly slam the Giants' worsening track record under GM Joe Shane.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The holidays promise cheer, yet for many families they amplify tension, unmet expectations, and quiet grief. We open the door to a calmer path by guiding clients through a practical, humane pre-decision continuum that reduces conflict before lawyers, filings, or ultimatums take center stage. Since January is known for a surge in divorce inquiries, we make the case that it should be known for something better: thoughtful coaching that stabilizes emotions and turns fear into informed choice.In this episode, host Tracy Callahan and guest, Dori Braddell, DCA Certified Divorce Coach and Director of Education and Development for DCA Canada, discuss divorce client preparation. They break the journey into three clear stages. First, Stay Well: we focus on stabilization and containment—sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, supportive connection—and name the SCARF triggers (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, fairness) that fuel reactivity. We help clients separate emotional distress from decision urgency and build safety plans and communication guardrails. Next, Wait With Intention: a purposeful pause for values clarification and fact-finding. We reverse-engineer desired outcomes for parenting, housing, and cash flow; gather financial data and process options; and model neutral, non-adversarial language. We stay in lane ethically by sharing general information and framing precise attorney questions without offering legal advice. Finally, Go With Purpose: clients convert preparation into action with a scripted, respectful approach to “the talk,” a short-term financial buffer, interim housing choices, parenting status quo, and a calm first agenda that sets the tone for mediation and collaborative solutions.Throughout, we underscore leadership and empathy: the prepared spouse takes care to avoid blindsiding and offers space for the other to process. For fellow coaches and ADR professionals, we share practical readiness tips—open discovery slots, align messaging to “divorce decision month,” refresh templates, and protect your own container against compassion fatigue—so you can meet the January surge with clarity and heart. Preparation is peace. Subscribe, share this episode with a colleague who needs a January playbook, and leave a review telling us which stage your clients struggle with most.To connect Dori through her role with DCA:Dori Braddell, DCA Certified Divorce Coach; Director of Education and Development for DCA Canada Email: dca.ca@divorcecoachesacademy.com Dori's private practice: https://www.thedivorcementor.ca/about-me Learn more about DCA® or any of the classes or events mentioned in this episode at the links below:Website: www.divorcecoachesacademy.comInstagram: @divorcecoachesacademyLinkedIn: divorce-coaches-academyEmail: DCA@divorcecoachesacademy.com

Exit Strategy by Lee Child and Andrew Child. Jack Reacher is back - this time in Baltimore, where he inadvertently gets himself caught up in corrupt goings on at the local Port. He walks into a coffee shop, and someone brushes against him - only later does he realise that a note was slipped into his pocket at that moment, from someone asking for help and requesting a late night rendezvous. The note was clearly intended for someone else but Jack heads along to the meeting anyway, just to see what's going on. This is classic Reacher - he's about to dispense a lot of vigilante justice and stand up for the good guys, before he gets onto another Greyhound bus and heads off for who knows where. Good Things Come and Go by Josie Shapiro. Josie is an Auckland writer whose first book I loved - Everything is Beautiful and Everything Hurts. This is her second, and it's equally good - about Penny and Riggs living in LA where things have gone terribly wrong for them, and the chance for Penny to come back to Auckland and hold a solo art exhibition is too good to ignore. They head back to Waiheke Island (and into the midst of complicated family dynamics) and reconnect with an old friend who's down on his luck. The rekindling of that childhood friendship brings serious undercurrents, with long held secrets to be reckoned with. Josie is a terrific writer and I hope will be bringing us books for years to come. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What does it take to walk away from a "good government job," a law degree, and the security everyone expects you to hold onto? Deida Massey knows. People called her crazy but she called it obedience. Raised on Chicago's South Side, Deida started out advocating for abused and neglected children. But something in her spirit said there was more. So she did the unthinkable: she left it all, moved to L.A. with no connections, and started at the bottom of the makeup world. Her leap led her into rooms with icons like DMX, Common and Dr. Maya Angelou… and ultimately to Zanzibar, where one encounter with the "lipstick plant" sparked the birth of Bixa Beauty, her vegan cosmetics brand. This conversation is full of the kind of truth you only get from a woman who risked everything.

Andrew Child, who also writes as Andrew Grant, is the author of RUN, FALSE POSITIVE, FALSE FRIEND, FALSE WITNESS, INVISIBLE, and TOO CLOSE TO HOME.

What happens when determination becomes your only strategy?In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Andrew Child, acclaimed author of the Reacher series and one of the minds behind the latest installment, Exit Strategy.The conversation dives into the psychology of writing, the craft of visualization, and the relentless perseverance that fuels one of fiction's most iconic franchises. Andrew reveals how he and his brother, Lee Child, evolved the legendary Reacher character to reflect a rapidly changing world — from technology to moral complexity — while maintaining the timeless essence of grit and justice that fans love.From Wyoming solitude to world stages, Andrew shares how creative resilience, emotional awareness, and flexibility shape his process. He also opens up about Lee's firing from television that ultimately birthed Reacher, proving that sometimes the worst endings lead to the best beginnings.Together, they explore the art of persistence, the myth of writer's block, and why the only real “exit strategy” is refusing to quit.Key Takeaways-Writing is an act of determination — you can't wait for inspiration, you must show up.-Visualization turns good writing into cinematic storytelling.-The Reacher series continues evolving with the times, tackling modern tech and social dynamics.-Collaboration and flexibility keep creativity alive.-Adversity often opens the door to reinvention — Lee Child's firing from TV led to global success.-Determination means refusing to quit, even when motivation fades.-Every author — and every human — has their own “exit strategy.” Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGAAndrew Childhttps://www.instagram.com/jackreacherbooks/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Exit Strategy by Lee Child & Andrew Child Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for. First - a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can't deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively, Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There's no problem. Nothing is missing. Second - a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help. Third - wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more...

Whether you've thought about packing up for a lower-tax destination or simply want to understand what happens if you ever did, this episode is for you.Leaving Canada isn't as simple as booking a flight south.

Change hits like a wave, and most teams feel it first as fear. We sat down with M&A veteran John Martinka to unpack how to turn that fear into focus when ownership or leadership shifts. Our conversation gets practical fast: reframing uncertainty, rewarding continuity, and communicating with a steady cadence even when legal guardrails limit what you can say.We walk through the three‑legged stool of trust across employees, seller, and buyer, and why retention bonuses tied to time and performance protect both people and the deal. John explains why buyers invest in teams, not just contracts, and how smart leaders involve key talent early without spooking the organization. We also explore how shop‑floor ideas often hold the best growth levers, and how a new owner's curiosity plus targeted capital can unlock stalled improvements. From culture risk and turnover to customer stickiness and margin discipline, we connect the dots between people decisions and enterprise value.If you've been asked to present to a prospective buyer, you'll hear how to share the positive truth: clear wins, real risks, and where capital accelerates value, including measured adoption of AI that augments your team. Founders weighing an exit get a grounded checklist on valuation basics—profitability, growth, customer concentration, tenure, and owner dependency—and how to build a bench so the business thrives without a single linchpin.Ready to lead through change with confidence and calm consistency?
